fix(pipeline): four silent production failures — dead sources, notification storm, lobotomised reranker, lying metrics - #423
Merged
Conversation
… in production
Two source adapters were returning zero items on every cycle. Neither failure
was visible as a failure: one looked like a parse hiccup, the other like a
malformed query.
Lobste.rs — total blackout from a single field's type change.
`submitter_user` now arrives as a bare string ("fzakaria"); the binding
required an object ({"username": ...}). `#[serde(default)]` did not help:
the field is PRESENT with the wrong type, and `default` only covers ABSENT
fields. Because the whole batch decoded as `Vec<LobstersStory>`, one bad
record zeroed every fetch on both endpoints. The unit test kept passing
because it asserted the stale object shape — the suite was green while the
source had contributed zero rows to the corpus.
- accept both shapes via an untagged enum
- decode per-record so one drifted story costs one story, not the source
- records-arrived-but-none-decoded is now an error, not a silent empty feed
- pin a byte-faithful fixture of the live payload so drift fails the suite
Stack Overflow — self-inflicted IP ban it could never escape.
Stack Exchange signals throttling as HTTP 400 with the reason in the BODY,
not as 429. The old code returned on status alone, before the body was ever
read, so:
- a 12.9h IP ban was logged as "Bad Request"
- `quota_remaining` could never be re-read once throttled, so it never
backed off, so the ban kept being renewed by the next cycle
- the `backoff` field Stack Exchange returns on SUCCESS had no binding
at all and was silently discarded
Live capture 2026-08-14:
{"error_id":502,"error_name":"throttle_violation",
"error_message":"too many requests from this IP,
more requests available in 46472 seconds"}
- read the body before classifying; throttle != bad request
- parse the deadline and arm a process-global circuit breaker (per-instance
state forgets it instantly — a fresh source is built every cycle)
- clamp to 24h, only ever extend, never shorten an active pause
- honour `backoff` on the success path
- abort the remaining tags on a throttle: it applies to the IP, not the tag
- drop the unread `has_more`/`error_id` bindings (doctrine rule 8) rather
than annotate them into permanence
Verified: cargo check clean; 6/6 lobsters tests, 10/10 stackoverflow tests,
including negative cases (a genuine bad_parameter 400 must NOT arm the
breaker) and clamp/monotonicity of the deadline.

…oasts/day
`maybe_notify_escalating_chains` sat BARE in the scheduler loop. Its own
comment said "hourly"; the loop ticks every 60 SECONDS. Every sibling job in
that loop is wrapped in `if now - last_X >= effective_interval(...)` with a
`mark_job_complete`. This one had no gate, no interval constant, no persisted
state, and no `gate_policy` check — so it also ignored the power/battery
throttle that governs everything else.
Measured on the live app before the fix (2026-08-14, ~11:57-12:04 local):
the sweep ran at 01:57:29, 01:58:30, 01:59:28, 02:00:28, 02:01:28, 02:02:28,
02:03:29, 02:04:28Z — once a minute, `notified=2` every time. That is two
`priority=critical` toasts per minute (~2,880/day), each displayed for 8s, so
a critical toast was on screen roughly 27% of all waking hours. Each sweep
also ran a full chain detection (topic extraction over ~900 items into ~2,210
topics) plus a `temporal_events` write.
Two layers, both required:
- schedule gate: CHAIN_NOTIFY_INTERVAL = 3600, persisted via a new
`chain_notify` scheduler_state job so a restart cannot reset the cadence
to fire-immediately, and gated on JobPriority::Normal like its siblings
- per-chain ledger: a chain sits in Escalating/Peak for DAYS, so an hourly
sweep with no memory would still fire the identical toast 24x/day.
Notifications now re-arm on a genuine phase change, or after 24h,
whichever comes first. Entries older than 7d are pruned.
Neither `maybe_notify_escalating_chains` nor
`send_chain_prediction_notification` had any dedup, cooldown, or
already-notified check, and `notification_window::show_notification` calls
`window.show()` unconditionally — so nothing downstream was absorbing this.
The user's `notification_threshold` is `high_and_above`, so the `critical_only`
branch that would have masked non-security chains never engaged either.
Verified: cargo check clean; 4/4 new dedup tests (first-fire, repeat
suppressed, phase-change re-arm, timeout re-arm, cross-chain independence);
9/9 scheduler tests still green including jobs_are_lowercase_underscores,
which validates the new constant.

…dget
The reranker was dead for 22.4 of every 24 hours and the logs called it a
success.
`apply_llm_reranking` had FIVE early-return paths that all yielded a bare
`None`, three of them with no log line at all. The caller then printed
"LLM rerank phase complete elapsed_ms=0" regardless. On the live app
(2026-08-14T01:57Z) that line appeared while `data/usage.json` read:
tokens_today 102677 limit 100000 EXCEEDED
cost_today_cents 51 limit 50 EXCEEDED
so the "completed" phase had in fact returned at the first branch without
doing anything. `elapsed_ms=0` was the only tell.
Honesty:
- `apply_llm_reranking` now returns `RerankOutcome::{Reranked, Skipped}`
- nine distinct `RerankSkip` variants, each with a stable machine-readable
tag and a detail string carrying the actual numbers, so budget exhaustion
is legible in the log instead of requiring a trip to usage.json
- all three call sites (cached_full, differential, deep_scan) log the real
outcome; a skip is now a WARN that states items carry pipeline scores only
- `is_rerank_enabled()` and `within_daily_limits()` are no longer collapsed
into one boolean, so "disabled" and "out of budget" are distinguishable
Pacing:
The budget resets at 00:00Z and was being consumed as fast as the scheduler
could spend it — the analysis loop runs every ~10.5min at ~11.4k tokens per
rerank, so ~9 passes exhausted the day's allowance by 01:36Z. That is not a
budget, it is a 96-minute sprint followed by 22 hours of silent degradation.
`budget_allowance_by_now` releases the daily limit proportionally to elapsed
UTC time (plus 5% up-front headroom so the first pass after the rollover can
still run), converting "9 passes clustered at dawn" into "~9 passes spread
across the day". Zero limit still means unlimited.
Deliberately NOT done here: caching judgments so unchanged items are not
re-judged. That is the real 10x saving, but it rewires the calibration-sample
and provenance write path — the same subsystem quarantined three days ago for
a poisoned curve (AD-029). It needs its own change with its own verification,
not a rider on this one.
Also fixed, same theme — metrics that lie (scoring/analyzer.rs):
- "Pre-score coverage — items not selected this pass were never scored"
reported coverage_pct=9.5 / not_scored=9171. Checked against the live DB:
all 10,172 items were scored AND stamped at the current PIPELINE_VERSION,
so true coverage was 100%. Unselected items keep an earlier pass's score;
the old line would send a reader hunting a recall crisis that isn't there.
Relabelled to what it actually measures (per-pass selector throughput).
- "Cache analysis summary" reported only the post-dedup survivor count next
to a rejection rate, reading as "we scored 654" when the scorer saw 961.
Now logs scored / survivors / removed_by_dedup. The persisted
`total_scored` column keeps its existing meaning on purpose: 179 historical
rows were written under it and redefining the denominator would make every
stored rejection_rate incomparable with its own history. Documented in situ.
Verified: cargo clippy clean on BOTH CI matrix legs (default and
--features experimental) with -D warnings; cargo fmt clean; full lib suite
4460 passed / 0 failed / 10 ignored, including 8 new pacing+skip tests, one
of which asserts the pacing would have blocked the exact observed burn.
Note: `cargo clippy --all-features` fails on team_sync_crypto.rs and
webhooks/mod.rs. Those are pre-existing, untouched by this change, and owned
by the `feature-rot` lane (fix/feature-gated-build-rot). CI does not lint
--all-features.

…sses The circuit breaker landed in c4ebddb is per-process, but three processes drive this pipeline against one data dir on this machine: 1. the GUI (`fourda.exe`, long-lived) 2. `4DA Background Refresh` -> `fourda.exe --engine-once`, repetition PT30M 3. `4DA-Ledger-Cycle` -> node run-cycle.mjs -> `fourda-engine.exe --once` Stack Exchange throttles by IP, so the ban is shared but the knowledge of it was not: each short-lived `--once` process started with an empty breaker and had to spend a request to rediscover the ban — and every such request can push the deadline further out. With 4 tags per cycle across three drivers the combined volume structurally exceeds the unauthenticated 300/day quota, which is how the IP ended up 12.9 hours deep in `throttle_violation`. The deadline now persists to `data/.stackoverflow_throttle`, so a ban learned by any process is honoured by all. Fail-soft throughout: a missing, garbage, or unreadable file simply means "no known throttle", never an error. Only ever extends, matching the in-memory semantics. Persistence is compiled out under cfg(test) so the unit tests exercise the in-memory logic hermetically and never touch a real data directory. Verified: 10/10 stackoverflow tests still green; clippy -D warnings clean; gitignore entry confirmed with git check-ignore.

Compare
Self-audit follow-up to 5a4ab8a. Three processes can arm the breaker concurrently and `fs::write` is not atomic, so a reader could observe a half-written file. That parses as garbage, is treated as "no throttle" (fail-soft), and costs a wasted request straight into an active ban — a small hole, but exactly the class of thing this change exists to close. Write to `<file>.tmp<pid>` then rename: a reader now sees either the previous deadline or the new one, never a torn value. Rename failure cleans up the temp file rather than leaving litter. Gitignore widened to the glob so the temp files cannot be staged. Verified: clippy -D warnings clean; 10/10 stackoverflow tests; both marker paths confirmed ignored via git check-ignore.

…mmit gate (fleet cannot commit) (#430) ## Why this is urgent `src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs` landed at **1032 lines** in #423, over the **1000-line hard error threshold** in `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs`. That script exits `1`, and `.husky/pre-commit:38-41` treats a non-zero exit as blocking: ```sh node scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs || { echo "File size check failed. Split large files or add justified exceptions." exit 1 } ``` **Every developer on this repo currently cannot commit anything locally.** This PR restores that. ### How it got in #423 was Rust-only, so CI's `Frontend` job — the only place the file-size check runs — was skipped by the path filter and the gate never fired. The CI path-filter fix is a **separate change owned by another agent**; this PR deliberately does not touch `.github/workflows/`. ## What this does Option A (split), not an exception-list entry. The file had a self-contained 169-line inline `#[cfg(test)] mod rerank_breaker_tests` block at the bottom, which is the cleanest possible seam — it touches **zero production logic**. Moved it into `src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank_tests.rs`, declared with: ```rust #[cfg(test)] #[path = "analysis_rerank_tests.rs"] mod rerank_breaker_tests; ``` This is the established pattern in this crate — **45 other modules** already use `#[cfg(test)] #[path = "*_tests.rs"] mod ...;` with the test file holding the module body directly (e.g. `adversarial.rs:495-497`). Test files get 2x the size limit, so the extracted file sits well inside it. | File | Before | After | Status | |---|---|---|---| | `analysis_rerank.rs` | 1032 | **866** | warn only (non-blocking) | | `analysis_rerank_tests.rs` | — | 166 | test file, exempt from warnings | The module name is unchanged, so test paths stay `analysis_rerank::rerank_breaker_tests::*` — no test-name churn. ## Verification Gate, before and after: ``` # before 1 file(s) exceed error threshold. Split large files or add justified exceptions. EXIT=1 # after 43 file(s) approaching size limits (warnings only). EXIT=0 ``` | Check | Result | |---|---| | `node scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs` | **exit 0** (was exit 1) | | `cargo fmt --check` | clean | | `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` (default) | clean | | `cargo clippy --features experimental -- -D warnings` | clean | | `cargo test --lib` | **4290 passed, 0 failed, 10 ignored** | The test count is **identical** to the pre-change baseline measured on the same tree. Beyond the count, a full test-**name** set diff between the two runs shows **4300 unique names on both sides, 0 added, 0 removed** — proving nothing was orphaned by the module move (a missed `#[path]` declaration would silently drop tests, which a passing run alone would not catch). The production diff is a single hunk starting at line 862; everything above it is byte-for-byte untouched. The extracted body was verified as a byte-exact dedent of the original, with the only difference being rustfmt's re-wrap of the `use super::{...}` block at the reduced indent level. ## Notes for the reviewer - Rebased onto latest `main` (`4e8e197b`, #428). No overlap — #428 does not touch `analysis_rerank.rs`. - Local pre-commit and pre-push hooks both ran in full and passed. No `--no-verify` was used anywhere. (Hooks were invoked via `git -c core.hooksPath=.husky ...` so the worktree ran **its own tracked hooks** rather than the shared tree's `core.hooksPath` absolute path — that is the correct branch's gate, not a bypass.) - `cargo audit` reports a pre-existing `RUSTSEC-2026-0221` (`event-listener` unsound) on main; unrelated to this change and warn-only in the hook. - The exception list in `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs` was **not** touched. Worth a separate cleanup pass: it reportedly carries 5 stale entries for deleted files and 3 with false justifications. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01AUeKTKwNmdow8yUk3q8RB2 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Today's outage made this concrete. #423 was a Rust-only PR, so the path filter skipped its Frontend job — and `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs --ci` ran ONLY inside that job, even though it scans BOTH trees (SCAN_DIRS = ['src', 'src-tauri/src']). A 1032-line src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs merged past the 1000-line hard error threshold with the gate never executing. check-file-sizes then exited 1 on main, and because .husky/pre-commit treats that as blocking, every developer in the fleet was unable to commit until #430 landed. A gate that guards Rust files must not be reachable only through a filter that excludes Rust. Adds a `repo-guards` job with NO path filter and NO `needs:`, so it runs on every pull request and dispatch whatever changed. It carries check-file-sizes, check-no-window-spawns, check-release-channel and the guard self-tests, which are removed from `frontend` — they were never frontend-specific. It needs no pnpm install (all three guards use only node builtins) and runs hosted in ~40s. It is in `validate-success`'s needs, so it actually gates the merge: since it never skips, it is the only leg guaranteed to have run. Also folds in `pnpm run test:scripts` — 53 tests across 6 files that verify the guards still detect what they claim, and which previously executed in no hook and no workflow. package.json is deliberately untouched: a peer holds a claim on it and #418 edits the same line, and wiring it here achieves the same goal. Rust job timeout 30 -> 45: that job now compiles the integration test targets, and Swatinem's cache is only saved from main, so until this lands every PR run pays a cold link for 5 extra binaries.

… email (#427) ## What does this PR do? Closes an unauthenticated licence-key disclosure in the live Signal licence endpoint, without breaking licence recovery for real customers. > **Relationship to #421:** #421 deleted the *stale Vercel duplicate* of this handler (`site/api/streets/activate.js`) as part of its dead-code sweep. It did not touch the live Cloudflare Pages handler, which is where the vulnerability actually lives — `git log` shows `site/functions/api/streets/activate.js` last changed in #357. This PR is rebased on top of #421 and #423 and fixes the live one. ### The vulnerability `site/functions/api/streets/activate.js` serves two GET paths. The `session_id` path is correct: a Stripe checkout session id is high-entropy, unguessable, and re-verified against Stripe, so holding one is proof of purchase. The `email` path was not. It took the address straight off the query string, looked the customer up, and returned that customer's full licence key in the response body — no authentication, no proof the caller owned the address, nothing: ```js // site/functions/api/streets/activate.js:373-406 (before) } else { customerEmail = email; } // caller-supplied, never verified const customers = await stripe.customers.list({ email: customerEmail.toLowerCase(), limit: 1 }); return json({ license_key: license, tier, issued_at, expires_at, status }, 200, headers); ``` Impact, in order of severity: 1. **Anyone who knows or guesses a customer's email gets a working licence.** The keys are Ed25519-signed and verified **offline** against the public key embedded in the desktop app, so a stolen key keeps working indefinitely — there is no revocation channel that could take it back. 2. **Customer-list oracle.** `200` vs `404` answered "is this person a paying 4DA subscriber?" for any address the caller cared to try. 3. **Nothing stood in front of it.** CORS is not an access control — a plain HTTP client sends no `Origin` header at all. There is no `_middleware.js`, no Turnstile, and `site/wrangler.toml` declares zero KV/D1 bindings, so no rate limiter existed or could have existed without new infrastructure. ### The fix The `email` path now **never puts the key on the wire to an unverified caller**. It mails the key to the address on file and returns the same `202` either way. - **`site/functions/api/streets/activate.js:356-470`** — the GET handler splits into two named functions with explicitly different trust properties. `handleSessionLookup` is byte-for-byte the old verified behaviour (untouched on purpose). `handleEmailRecovery` validates the address shape, checks that outbound mail is provisioned, then **responds before doing the Stripe lookup** — the lookup and send are scheduled on `waitUntil`. That makes the response constant in *both* body and latency, so the oracle is closed on every path rather than just the obvious one. - **`site/lib/recovery-email.js`** (new) — Resend delivery via raw `fetch`, the same provider and pattern `paddle-webhook/api/paddle.ts:363` already uses; no new dependency. It only ever mails an address that is **already a Stripe customer holding a licence**, so the endpoint cannot be turned into an open relay against arbitrary third parties. Expired licences get a "renew at 4da.ai/signal" notice instead of a key. It never throws and never returns the key to the caller. - **Honest degradation.** Delivery needs `RESEND_API_KEY` and `RESEND_FROM_EMAIL` in the Cloudflare Pages environment (see operator actions below). If they are unset, the endpoint returns `503` with "contact support@4da.ai from your purchase email" — uniformly, before any Stripe call. It does **not** fall back to returning the key; that fallback is the vulnerability. - **`json()` now sets `Cache-Control: no-store`** so no browser, proxy or CDN retains a key-bearing response from the `session_id` path either. ### Consumers updated to the new contract Legitimate recovery had three consumers and all three were carried across rather than broken: - **`src-tauri/src/settings_commands_license.rs:326-443`** — `recover_license_by_email` now handles `202` (`reason: "emailed"`), `400` and `503`. It no longer auto-activates, because the server no longer hands it a key; the doc comment explains why the 200 arm is now unreachable. - **`src/components/settings/LicenseSection.tsx`**, **`src/components/LicenseRecoveryBanner.tsx`** — `emailed` renders as an informational (gold) state, not a red error. It is the success case. - **`src/locales/*/ui.json`** — 3 new keys across all 13 locales, plus updated recovery copy that says the key is emailed and is never shown in-app. - **`site/src/signal/success.njk`** — the public form's button is now "Email me my key", with a note explaining why, and it handles `202`/`503`. ### Privacy disclosure This change introduces **Resend** as a processor of a customer's email address and licence key, so it is added to the third-party tables in `site/src/privacy.njk` and `docs/legal/PRIVACY-POLICY.md`. #421 had already corrected the Vercel→Cloudflare drift in both, so that part is not re-done here. ## Type of change - [x] Bug fix (security) ## Checklist - [x] `pnpm run lint` — 0 errors - [x] `tsc --noEmit` — clean - [x] `pnpm run test` — 1362 tests / 125 files pass - [x] `cargo fmt --check` and `cargo clippy --lib` — clean - [x] `node scripts/validate-translations.cjs` — 0 errors - [x] `node scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs` — passes (see the note below about #423) - [x] `npx @11ty/eleventy` — site builds - [x] No secrets or API keys committed ## Testing **Live-verified** against `wrangler pages dev` with throwaway credentials (a fake Stripe key is sufficient — the whole point is that the response does not depend on the lookup): | Request | Result | |---|---| | `?email=` a plausible address | `202`, body `{"delivery":"email","message":"If that address has a 4DA licence…"}` | | `?email=` a different address | `202`, **byte-identical body** | | `?email=` malformed | `400`, rejected on shape alone | | no parameters | `400` | | any of the above | `Cache-Control: no-store`, no `license_key` field anywhere | `site/test-e2e-stripe.mjs` previously *asserted the vulnerable behaviour* (`data.license_key === licenseKey`). Those assertions are now regression tests for the fix, covering the two properties that matter: - the email path's response contains **no** licence key and no `license_key` field, in the live, cancelled and expired cases; - a known customer address and a random non-existent address produce a **byte-identical body and identical status**, so there is no customer oracle. That script needs live Stripe test keys, so it is for the operator to run against a preview deployment — it is not wired into CI. ## Operator actions required before this is fully live 1. **Set `RESEND_API_KEY` and `RESEND_FROM_EMAIL`** (e.g. `4DA <licenses@4da.ai>`, on a Resend-verified domain) in Cloudflare Pages → `4da-site` → Settings → Environment variables. Until they are set, email recovery honestly returns "contact support" instead of working. 2. **Deploy.** Cloudflare is direct-upload, not git-auto-deploy — merging does not ship this. It needs `wrangler pages deploy`. 3. **Confirm the dormant Vercel project `4da-home` is not still serving the old copy.** #421 removed `site/api/**` from the repo, but if that project still has a live deployment on a `*.vercel.app` URL with `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY` and `LICENSE_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX` populated, the old vulnerable endpoint is still reachable there regardless of what the repo says. 4. **Consider rotating `LICENSE_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX`** if there is reason to think keys were harvested while the endpoint was open. This invalidates every issued key and forces re-issue, so it is a judgement call, not automatic. ## Note for the #423 author — file-size gate was left red `src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs` went from 739 → **1032 lines** in #423, past the 1000-line hard error in `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs`, with no exception entry added. That left `main` red on the gate and blocked *every* local commit via the pre-commit hook. I added an explicitly **TEMPORARY** entry so this PR could be committed at all, with a comment naming #423 as owing the split and instructing that the line be deleted afterwards. It is not a blessing to keep growing the file — please split the reranker and remove the entry. ## Residual risk, deliberately not fixed here - **No rate limiting.** The email path is still unauthenticated and unmetered, so it can be driven in a loop to repeatedly mail an existing customer their own key. It cannot mail anyone who is *not* already a customer, which bounds this to inbox nuisance rather than open-relay abuse. A real limiter needs per-IP counters and this Pages project declares no KV or D1 binding to hold them. The zero-code mitigation is a **Cloudflare WAF rate-limiting rule on `/api/streets/activate`**, configurable from the dashboard. This is noted in a comment at the top of the email path. - **The address still travels in a query string**, so it lands in Cloudflare access logs and browser history. Moving recovery to `POST` would fix that but would break already-shipped desktop builds that call `GET`, so the compatible shape was kept. - **Stripe is still absent from both privacy processor tables**, even though it has processed Signal subscriptions for some time. That is a pre-existing gap, not one this change introduces, so it is flagged rather than silently rewritten — legal copy should be your call. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01AUeKTKwNmdow8yUk3q8RB2 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ncovered paths (#429) ## What this fixes Four CI gates reported success without doing the work they claim. Each was verified against live run data before anything was changed. ### 1. The integration tests had never run in CI — on any workflow Every `cargo test` in `.github/workflows/` was `--lib`-scoped (`validate.yml:303/308`, `hermetic.yml:167/176`). No `--tests`, no `--all-targets`. So **all 154 real integration tests in `src-tauri/tests/` had never executed in CI**, including all 12 migration tests and the repo's only forward-migration coverage — against a `TARGET_VERSION = 103` migration chain that has no checksums and no downgrade path. **I measured before changing anything.** Full `cargo test --tests` run on this branch's base (`a6ece843`), isolated data dir, exit code 0: | Target | Result | |---|---| | lib unittests | **4,290 passed**, 0 failed, 10 ignored | | `4da` (cli bin) | 13 passed, 0 failed | | `fourda` / `fourda-engine` bins | 0 tests each | | `migration_tests` | **12 passed**, 0 failed | | `pipeline_integration` | **13 passed**, 0 failed | | `source_resilience` | **5 passed**, 0 failed | | `stack_simulation` | **124 passed**, 0 failed | | `victauri_dogfood` | 157 passed, 3 ignored (self-skips without `VICTAURI_E2E=1`) | | **Total** | **4,614 passed across 9 binaries, 0 failed** | **Nothing was broken and nothing had to be excluded.** They are also hermetic by construction, which I verified rather than assumed: `pipeline_integration` uses an in-memory DB (`test_utils::test_db()` → `:memory:`) and `migration_tests` uses `tempfile::tempdir()`. Both workflows now run `--tests` (lib + bins + integration) under the same throwaway-data-dir isolation `hermetic.yml` already used. Two follow-on fixes were required to avoid landing a red gate: - The count floor took `tail -1` of the `test result:` lines. With `--tests` there are **9** test binaries, so it would have read the *last* binary's total (157) and tripped the 2000 floor on every run. It now **sums** all binaries. - A new assertion fails if fewer than 5 test binaries report — so if this is ever re-scoped to `--lib`, it fails loudly instead of silently dropping the integration suite again. >⚠️ **Non-obvious trap for reviewers:** the isolation directory name must keep containing the substring `data`. `src/state.rs::test_get_db_path_points_to_data_dir` asserts the resolved DB path contains `"data"`. Pointing `FOURDA_DATA_DIR` at e.g. `/tmp/4da-hermetic` makes that lib test fail; `…/4da-hermetic-data` passes. I hit this during measurement. Both call sites are commented. ### 2. The hermetic fresh-clone canary never ran outside PRs `fresh-clone` needs the PR-only `changes` job. GitHub skips any job whose `needs` was skipped **unless its `if:` contains a status function** — and `hermetic.yml:94` had none. So push-to-main, the nightly cron and manual dispatch all skipped the clone and reported success: | Trigger | Duration | Result | |---|---|---| | push → main (08-14 03:52) | **9s** | "success" | | push → main (08-13 16:42) | **7s** | "success" | | schedule (08-13 08:21) | **7s** | "success" | | pull_request (real work) | ~19min | success | The file's own comment at `:56-60` claimed these paths "ALWAYS run the full canary". **The nightly cron had never built a single fresh clone.** Fixed with `!cancelled()` — not `always()`, so a cancelled run doesn't spawn a 45-minute cold build. The **identical defect** silently disabled `workflow_dispatch` for Frontend, MCP Server and the entire Rust matrix in `validate.yml`: the `github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch'` clause on those three jobs had never once fired, while `Validate Success` (`if: always()`) still went green. Same fix. ### 3. A path-filter hole took the whole fleet down today This stopped being hypothetical while this PR was being written: - **#423 was a Rust-only PR.** Its `Frontend` job was skipped by the path filter. - `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs --ci` ran **only inside the Frontend job** — but it scans `SCAN_DIRS = ['src', 'src-tauri/src']`, i.e. it guards Rust files too. - So #423 merged a **1032-line `src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs`** past the 1000-line hard error threshold, with the gate never executing. - `check-file-sizes.cjs` then exited 1 on `main`, and `.husky/pre-commit:38-41` treats that as blocking — **every developer in the fleet was unable to commit.** A gate that guards Rust files must not be reachable only through a filter that excludes Rust. This PR adds a **`repo-guards` job with no path filter and no `needs:`** — it runs on every PR and dispatch, and carries `check-file-sizes`, `check-no-window-spawns`, `check-release-channel` and the guard self-tests. They are removed from `Frontend` (they were never frontend-specific). Hosted, ~40s, no `pnpm install` needed: all three guards use only node builtins. It is also in `validate-success`'s `needs`, so it actually gates the merge — `repo-guards` is now the only leg guaranteed to have run. **Additionally, "no filter matched" now means RUN, not PASS.** `site/`, `paddle-webhook/`, `mcp-memory-server/`, `editors/vscode/` and `.husky/` matched no filter, while `Validate Success` is the only required check and auto-merge is enabled repo-wide — so a Dependabot bump into the payment webhook, or a PR weakening `.husky/` itself, could merge with nothing run. Added `.github/**` and `.husky/**` explicitly, plus an `uncovered` fail-safe filter that catches anything unrecognised **including directories added in future**. > The `uncovered` filter uses `predicate-quantifier: 'every'`, which is **required** — the default `'some'` ORs the patterns, and a list of negations OR'd together matches every file. Verified against the action's source at the pinned SHA (`src/filter.ts:110-113` → `patterns.every(...)`; `MatchOptions = {dot: true}`, so `.husky/**` matches). ### 4. The guards' own self-tests ran nowhere `pnpm run test:scripts` (53 tests across 6 files) executed in **no hook and no workflow** — nothing verified the guards still detect what they claim. `pnpm run validate` isn't run by CI either (the Frontend job runs its steps individually), so wiring it into `package.json` alone would not have gated it. It is now a step in `repo-guards`. ## Deliberately NOT done - **No branch-protection or ruleset change.** Making `Hermetic Success` required is the correct end state — currently `Validate Success` is the *only* required check in the active `main-protection` ruleset (verified via the API; classic branch protection is disabled). But with ~30 open PRs and Hermetic historically failing on #421, flipping it now would block the fleet. **Recommended as an explicit follow-up** once this lands and Hermetic is observed green on push-to-main for a few days — which, note, is the first time that signal will ever have existed. - **`package.json` untouched.** `test:scripts` was going to be added to the `validate` chain, but a peer worktree agent holds a claim on that file and #418 also edits that exact line. Wiring it into `repo-guards` achieves the real goal (it now runs in CI) without touching the claimed file. - **`analysis_rerank.rs` / `check-file-sizes.cjs` untouched** — a separate agent owns the immediate unblock. This PR fixes the structural cause only. - **No per-package jobs for `site/`, `paddle-webhook/`, `mcp-memory-server/`, `editors/vscode/`.** The `uncovered` fail-safe means they now trigger the generic gate instead of passing silently, but that gate does not *build* them. Dedicated jobs are the right follow-up and belong in their own PR. - **Rust job timeout raised 30 → 45 min.** Not cosmetic: this job now compiles the integration test targets, and Swatinem's cache is only saved from `main`, so until this lands there every PR run pays a cold link for 5 extra binaries. 30 was too tight for that first window, and a timeout on a required gate is a red gate. ## Conflicts with open PRs Checked `gh pr diff --name-only` on every PR touching these files: | PR | Overlap | Notes | |---|---|---| | #387, #350 | none | Dependabot `actions/checkout` SHA pins only — different lines | | #388 | none | `taiki-e/install-action` SHA pin only | | #424 | none | Adds 3 matrix legs at `validate.yml:236-255`; my edits are at 301+ and inside `steps:`. I deliberately did **not** add a matrix key — an integration-floor key would have had to be added to its new legs. Verified `cargo test --tests --features experimental` compiles clean, so its `test-floor: 0` compile-gate legs are unaffected. | | #418 | **1 line** | Both edit `validate-success`'s `needs:`. #418 adds `pr-metadata`, this adds `repo-guards`. Resolution is a union of the two lists — whoever merges second takes both. Flagged rather than pre-empted. | `uncovered` was also deliberately placed *before* the main filter step, to stay clear of the end-of-job boundary #418 inserts a job into. ## Live CI evidence from this PR's own run The first run of this branch already proves the fix, on both platforms: | Check | Result | |---|---| | Fresh clone (ubuntu-22.04) | **pass**, 12m22s | | Fresh clone (windows-latest) | **pass**, 18m21s | | Hermetic Success | **pass** | | Rust (default) | **pass**, 12m41s | | Rust (experimental) | **pass**, 12m02s | The hermetic job log shows **all 9 test binaries executing on both legs** — `migration_tests` 12, `pipeline_integration` 13, `source_resilience` 5, `stack_simulation` 124, `victauri_dogfood` 157, plus lib (4,290 windows / 4,284 ubuntu — a 6-test platform delta, far above the 2000 floor) and the 3 bin targets. **Zero failures.** That is the first time any of those integration tests has run in CI. Rust finished in ~12min against the old 30min cap, so the 45min bump is headroom for the first cold-cache window rather than a response to an observed timeout. ## Verification - Both workflows parse as YAML; all `if:` expressions and filter blocks inspected post-rebase. - `cargo test --tests` measured green in full **before** any workflow edit, and **re-run green after** rebasing onto current `main` (table above) — #421 removed ~54k lines and #423 changed pipeline code between those two runs. - `dorny/paths-filter` negation + `every` semantics confirmed from source at the pinned SHA, not assumed. - `check-no-window-spawns`, `check-release-channel`, `test:scripts` all verified exit 0 locally; `check-file-sizes` correctly exits 1 (the live outage above). - Rebased onto latest `main`; only the two workflow files differ. The `analysis_rerank.rs` unblock (#430) has landed, so `repo-guards` passes; this branch is rebased on top of it. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…pply-chain blind spot (#433) ## The premise, verified first An audit lane claimed the quick-xml suppression in `deny.toml:96-112` / `.cargo/audit.toml:15-29` had gone stale. It rested on this justification: > "NO consumer in our tree has a released version against >=0.41 yet" **Confirmed false.** Read straight out of the registry index (`rust_version` and `deps` per published version): | consumer | we had | latest | quick-xml req | zip req | |---|---|---|---|---| | `calamine` | **0.25.0** | 0.36.1 | `^0.31` → **`^0.41`** | `^1.0` → `^8.6` | | `docx-rs` | **0.4.20** | 0.4.22 | `^0.36` → **`^0.41`** (since 0.4.21) | `^0.6.3` → `^8.6` | | `plist` | **1.9.0** | 1.10.0 | `^0.39.2` → **`^0.41`** | — | All three shipped support. The ignores were suppressing a live, fixable advisory pair on a parser that reads **user-supplied `.xlsx` / `.docx`**. ## What changed **quick-xml (RUSTSEC-2026-0194 / -0195) — resolved, not re-justified.** Bumping the three consumers collapses `quick-xml` **0.31.0 + 0.36.2 + 0.39.4 → a single 0.41.0**. Both advisories stop firing on their own, so both ignores are **deleted** from `deny.toml` *and* `.cargo/audit.toml` (they had diverged; both were checked). `RUSTSEC-2023-0071` (`rsa`) left alone as instructed. **`office.rs` needed no edit** — and that is a verified claim, not an absence of errors: - `sheet_names()` and `worksheet_range()` have byte-identical signatures in 0.25 and 0.36. - `Data` still has exactly the same nine variants with the same payloads. `cell_to_string` matches it **exhaustively with no wildcard arm**, so an added variant could not have compiled. - `ExcelDateTime`'s `Display` impl is byte-identical (`write!(f, "{}", self.value)`), so `DateTime` cells format the same. - Same for `docx-rs`: `TableChild` / `TableRowChild` are destructured irrefutably, so a new variant there could not have compiled either. The documented decompression-bomb weakness (the 100 MB cap is on the **compressed** size) is untouched — separate work, not regressed. **zip — partial.** `zip 1.1.4` retired as hoped. **`zip 0.6.6` did not** — it is our own direct `zip = "0.6"`, so retiring it is an 8-major API migration across `osv/cache.rs`, `extractors/archive.rs` and `embeddings_providers/fastembed.rs`. No advisory attaches to it, so it is staleness, not exposure. Left as follow-up rather than smuggled into a security PR. Tree is now `zip` 0.6.6 (ours) + 4.6.1 (tauri-plugin-updater) + 8.6.0 (calamine/docx-rs). **`relay/` — 5 vulnerabilities → 0.** A TLS-terminating server with no Dependabot entry, no cargo-audit, no CI. | crate | change | advisory | |---|---|---| | `rustls-webpki` | 0.103.9 → **0.103.14** | RUSTSEC-2026-0049 / -0098 / -0099 / -0104 (cert validation) | | `spin` | 0.9.8 → **0.9.9** | 0.9.8 was **yanked** | | `anyhow` | 1.0.102 → 1.0.104 | RUSTSEC-2026-0190 | | `event-listener` | 5.4.1 → 5.4.2 | RUSTSEC-2026-0221 | | `rand` | 0.8.5 → 0.8.7 | RUSTSEC-2026-0097 | `rsa 0.9.10` remains with no fix available, and is recorded in a new `relay/.cargo/audit.toml` with evidence that it is **not in the build graph**: it reaches `Cargo.lock` only via sqlx's optional `mysql` backend, which relay never enables — `cargo tree -i rsa` and `cargo tree -i sqlx-mysql` both report *nothing to print*. **Coverage, so it stops recurring.** `dependabot.yml` gains a `cargo` entry for `/relay` (not a `src-tauri` workspace member, so the existing entry never saw it), and `nightly-audit.yml`'s cargo-audit step now loops every `Cargo.lock` in the repo. **Workflow footprint is deliberately limited to those two files** — `validate.yml` is being reshaped by peer PRs and is untouched here. **`relay/Dockerfile`.** `cargo build --release --locked 2>/dev/null || cargo build --release` silently dropped lockfile enforcement and swallowed the reason. Fallback removed. Its base image also had to move **1.82 → 1.95**: the lockfile already required 1.88 via `time 0.3.47` (`jsonwebtoken` → `simple_asn1`), so that image could not have built this crate at all — the fallback was hiding a hard failure, not surviving a soft one. ## Two things found on the way **1. `main` was un-committable — independently confirmed, now fixed by #430.** `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs` exits 1 on `src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs` (**1032 lines against a 1000 hard limit**, arrived with #423). The gate scans the whole repo rather than staged paths, so `.husky/pre-commit` failed for *every* terminal on *every* commit — including this one. I hit it, diagnosed it, and fixed it the same way a peer did in **#430** (lift the test module into a sibling `analysis_rerank_tests.rs` via `#[path]`, 1032 → 866). #430 landed first, so **that commit has been dropped from this branch by rebase** — this PR now contains only the dependency work. Recording it here as an independent second confirmation of both the diagnosis and the chosen fix. **2. `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` does not pass on `main`** (255 pre-existing errors at my branch point, ~all `unwrap_used`/`expect_used` in test code). This is **not** the gate — CI runs `cargo clippy ${{ matrix.cargo-features }} -- -D warnings` *without* `--all-targets`, so the numbers below are from the CI-equivalent invocation. Reported as an observation, not touched. ## Verification | check | result | |---|---| | `src-tauri` `cargo audit` | **exit 0** — zero vulnerabilities, zero warnings | | `src-tauri` `cargo deny check` | **exit 0** — `advisories ok, bans ok, licenses ok, sources ok` | | `relay` `cargo audit` | **exit 0** (was 5 vulns + 4 warnings + 1 yanked) | | `relay` `cargo check --locked --all-targets` | clean | | `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` (CI-equivalent, default) | **exit 0** | | `cargo clippy --features experimental -- -D warnings` | **exit 0** | | `cargo fmt --check` | **exit 0** | | `cargo test --lib` | **4300 passed, 0 failed, 10 ignored** | All re-run after rebasing onto `c1fd348c` (#425, #426, #427, #429, #430, #431 all landed mid-flight). `--features team-sync` and `--features enterprise` fail to compile — **pre-existing rot on `main`** (`chacha20poly1305::aead::OsRng` unresolved, then cascading `__cmd__*` macro failures), which is what #424 exists to repair. My lockfile diff touches no crypto crate. #424 is still open as of this push, and the CI clippy matrix on `main` still carries only the `default` and `experimental` legs — so the two legs verified above are exactly the gate. ### The extractor tests were `#[ignore]`d and had never run There are no `.xlsx`/`.docx` fixtures anywhere in the repo, so `test_real_docx_extraction` / `test_real_xlsx_extraction` were no-ops that returned early. To gain real confidence in an 11-minor-version parser bump I generated **real OOXML documents** — shared strings, an inline string, numeric and boolean cells, paragraphs and a table — confirmed both `#[ignore]`d tests pass against them, and separately asserted the extracted text matches the pre-bump formatting contract exactly: ``` === Sheet: Budget === Hello from 4DA Item | Cost Second paragraph Widget | 42 A1 | B1 Gadget | 3.50 | TRUE ``` That exercises every arm of `cell_to_string` that a document can reach (shared/inline string, integral float → `42`, fractional float → `3.50`, bool → `TRUE`) plus the docx paragraph and table paths. The scratch harness was deleted; **no test-file changes ship in this PR**. ## Deliberately left - **`zip 0.6.6`** — direct dep, 8-major API migration, no advisory. Follow-up. - **`office.rs` decompression bomb** — the 100 MB cap is on the compressed size. Out of scope, not regressed. - **`--all-targets` clippy backlog** — pre-existing, not the CI gate. - **`validate.yml`** — peer-owned right now, untouched on purpose. - **`--features team-sync` / `enterprise`** — pre-existing rot, #424's job. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…eal warnings (#438) ## Why `EXCEPTIONS` in `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs` is consulted **before** any size comparison: ```js if (EXCEPTIONS[normalized]) continue; ``` So an entry suppresses the **warn** tier as well as the **error** tier. An entry for a file that is no longer over the *error* threshold is not a harmless leftover — it silently hides a legitimate warning, and it disarms the hard limit on a file that may keep growing. Seven entries were in that state. All line counts below were measured with the gate's **own** `countLines()`, not `wc`. ## Removed | Entry | Lines | Warn | Error | Why it's stale | |---|---:|---:|---:|---| | `src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs` | 866 | 700 | 1000 | Entry was self-described `TEMPORARY`, owed a split back to #423. **#430 (`02c105d9`) did the split (1032 → 866) but only touched the two `.rs` files — it never removed the exception it was owed.** | | `src/components/preemption/PreemptionCard.tsx` | 388 | 350 | 500 | Justification claimed *"9 lines over"*. It is 38 over **warn** and 112 **under** error — the stated reason was false. | | `src/components/enterprise/SsoConfigPanel.tsx` | 355 | 350 | 500 | Justification claimed *"5 lines over"*. 5 over **warn**, 145 under error. | | `src-tauri/src/scoring/pipeline_tests.rs` | *deleted* | 700 | 1000 | File was **deleted in #421**. Same class as the five dead entries #421 already swept — it missed this one. | | `src-tauri/src/settings/types.rs` | 908 | 700 | 1000 | Under error; was hiding a warning. | | `src/store/slice-types.ts` | 446 | 300 | 500 | Under error; was hiding a warning. | | `src-tauri/src/sources/adapter_resilience_tests.rs` | 1802 | *n/a* | 2000 | Test file, so warn-exempt — removing it changes no output today, but it left the 2000-line hard limit silently unenforceable on a file that is actively grown. | ## Kept Every other entry is genuinely over its **error** threshold and is doing its job — those were left alone. One deliberate keep that looks like a miss: **`src/types/i18n-resources.d.ts` does not resolve on disk**, but it is gitignored and generated by `pnpm run i18n:types`, which `validate:all` runs *before* this gate. That is already documented inline; the entry stays. `src-tauri/src/briefing_pipeline_tests.rs` is a different file from the deleted `scoring/pipeline_tests.rs` and was never in the map. ## Verification ``` before: 42 file(s) approaching size limits (warnings only). exit 0 after: 47 file(s) approaching size limits (warnings only). exit 0 ``` The 5 new warnings are exactly the suppressed files now reporting honestly (`settings/types.rs` 908, `analysis_rerank.rs` 866, `slice-types.ts` 446, `PreemptionCard.tsx` 388, `SsoConfigPanel.tsx` 355). **No file crosses an ERROR threshold**, so the pre-commit gate cannot block the fleet — the failure mode that took every developer offline on 2026-08-14 (#423 → #430). Every consumer of this script (`.husky/pre-commit`, the `repo-guards` CI job, `build-guardian.cjs`, `compound-quality-check.cjs`, `sentinel-scan.cjs`) keys on exit code or `ERROR` lines only, so warnings are safe everywhere. Also verified: after this change every remaining entry passes the "file exists **and** is over its error threshold" test, except the documented generated-file case above. ## Scope `scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs` only — 12 deletions, no source file touched, nothing split. 4 of the 7 (`pipeline_tests.rs`, `settings/types.rs`, `slice-types.ts`, `adapter_resilience_tests.rs`) were found by auditing all 38 entries rather than being named up front. Each is an independent line and can be dropped in review without affecting the others. ## Hook note This worktree has no `node_modules`, so `.husky/_` does not exist and `core.hooksPath` resolves to nothing — git silently ran **no** hooks. `--no-verify` was **not** used. The gates were run manually instead, all green: `check-file-sizes` · `check-doc-location` · `check-llm-gate-honesty` · `check-vanity-metrics` · `check-release-channel` · `i18n-guard` · `validate-boundary-calls` · `compound-quality-check` · push-range `scan-secrets --diff-added` · `private-asset-guard` Not runnable here (no `node_modules`): `tsc`, ESLint, and the frontend suite. This change is a Node tooling script with no TypeScript or frontend surface; CI's required gates cover them. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01AUeKTKwNmdow8yUk3q8RB2 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Four independent failures found by reading the live app's debug console, then confirmed against the running process, the live SQLite DB,
data/usage.json, and live HTTP calls to the failing endpoints. Every one of them was invisible in the logs — three reported success, one reported the wrong cause.What was broken
1. Lobste.rs — 100% dead, zero rows ever ingested.
submitter_userchanged upstream from{"username": "..."}to a bare string"fzakaria". The binding required the object form.#[serde(default)]did not help: the field is present with the wrong type, anddefaultonly covers absent fields. Because the batch decoded asVec<LobstersStory>, one drifted record zeroed every fetch on both endpoints. The unit test kept passing the whole time — it asserted the stale shape. The DB confirms it: 19 source types present,lobstersis not one of them.2. Stack Overflow — a self-inflicted 12.9h IP ban it could not escape.
Stack Exchange signals throttling as HTTP 400 with the reason in the body, not 429. The old code classified on status alone and returned before reading the body, so: the ban was logged as "Bad Request";
quota_remainingcould never be re-read once throttled, so it never backed off, so the next cycle renewed the ban; and thebackofffield returned on success had no binding at all. Reproduced independently outside the app:3. Chain notifications — 2,880 critical toasts/day.

Every sibling job is interval-gated with amark_job_complete; this one had no gate, no interval constant, no persisted state, and nogate_policycheck — so it also ignored the battery/power throttle.
